Local and landscape scale variables impact parasitoid assemblages across an urbanization gradient
Ashley Bennett,Claudio Gratton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how local and landscape scale variables associated with urbanization influenced parasitic Hymenoptera abundance and diversity in residential and commercial properties along a rural to urban landscape gradient in Wisconsin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is preoperative physiotherapy/pulmonary rehabilitation beneficial in lung resection patients?
TL;DR: It is concluded that preoperative physiotherapy improves exercise capacity and preserves pulmonary function following surgery, and whether these benefits translate into a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complication is uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape composition influences pollinators and pollination services in perennial biofuel plantings
Ashley Bennett,Rufus Isaacs +1 more
TL;DR: Landscape composition had a significant effect on bee abundance, diversity, and community composition with a greater abundance of bees and a more diverse bee community found visiting flowers at sites with more of the surrounding landscape in perennial grassland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape and local site variables differentially influence pollinators and pollination services in urban agricultural sites.
TL;DR: To improve bee conservation and pollination services in urban agricultural sites, urban planning strategies should minimize impervious cover at large spatial scales while land managers should focus locally on incorporating floral resources, which increases food and nesting resources especially for smaller bee species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation biological control in urban landscapes: Manipulating parasitoids of bagworm (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) with flowering forbs
J.A. Ellis,J.A. Ellis,A.D. Walter,A.D. Walter,John F. Tooker,John F. Tooker,Matthew D. Ginzel,Matthew D. Ginzel,Peter F. Reagel,Emerson S. Lacey,Ashley Bennett,Ashley Bennett,E.M. Grossman,Lawrence M. Hanks +13 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that flowering forbs have a localized effect on host-searching behavior of female parasitoids, encouraging them to parasitize bagworms in the immediate vicinity.
